Then, the fee confirmation is completed and the mail is removed from the weighing pan 1 (step 76).
The weight display, the charge display (step 77), the type of mail specified by the keyboard section, etc. are cleared (step 78), and the initial standby state is returned (step 79).

In this manner, even in the above-mentioned conventional charge calculation device, charges can be calculated by measuring the weight and specifying calculation conditions on the keyboard section each time the charge is calculated.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the conventional rate calculation device described above, each time a rate is calculated, the type of postal item, special handling, etc. is specified by operating the keyboard. In cases where parcels are designated exclusively for parcels, the same key operations are required each time, even though the type of mail and special handling have been determined. There was a problem in that prompt price display was not possible because key operations were required after weighing.

The present invention solves these conventional problems, and aims to provide a charge calculation device that can reduce key operations and calculate charges quickly.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention includes a calculation condition storage section that stores output signals from the keyboard section, and a signal input from the keyboard section to the calculation condition storage section when pressed. A handling fixed key is provided to shut off the meter, and the charge is calculated from the weight data of the weighing section and the calculation conditions.

Effects The present invention has the above-described configuration, so that it can be used for the same type of work, such as when installing this device at a counter that handles only registered mail.
By operating the handling fixed key only once, registered mail fee calculation processing can be performed without operating the registered mail handling key thereafter, which has the advantage that the work on the keyboard section can be reduced.

Example Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a fee calculation device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The postage calculation device includes a weighing pan 1 on which mail is placed;
It consists of a display section 2 that displays weight, charges, etc., and a keyboard section 3 that specifies the type of mail and special handling such as registered mail, which are conditions for calculating charges. Display section 2 and keyboard section 3 provided on the front of the postage calculation device
As shown in Fig. 3, there are a weight display section 4 for displaying the weight of the mail, a charge display section 5 for displaying the result of charge calculation, and a damage charge amount display section for displaying the charge for damage to the registered mail. 6,
a status display section 7 that displays the zero point of the weighing section, overweight status, etc.; a mail designation key 8 that specifies the type of mail;
special handling key 9 for specifying special handling such as registered mail or express delivery;
A numeric keypad 10 for specifying the amount of damage compensation for registered mail, a handling fixed key 11 for memorizing the conditions specified with the mail designation key and special handling key, and a correction key for canceling the conditions specified with the mail designation key and special handling key. 12 are provided.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of this embodiment. A weighing section 31 that weighs the weight of mail, a keyboard section 32 that specifies calculation conditions, a calculation condition storage section 33 that stores the conditions specified by the keyboard section, and a charge data storage section 34 that stores charge data. , a charge calculation unit 35 that calculates a charge by comparing and calculating the weighted data from the measuring unit, the calculation conditions specified in the keyboard or the calculation condition storage unit, and the charge data in the charge data storage unit, and displays the calculation result of the charge. It consists of a display section 36 and fixed handling keys 37.

The rate calculation method of the postage rate calculation device is as shown in the operation flowchart (a) in FIG. The weight is displayed on the weight display section 4 (step 42). Furthermore, when the handling fixed key 11 is pressed (step 43) and calculation conditions are set in the calculation condition storage section 33, the fee is calculated (step 45) based on the stored conditions (step 44), and the fee display section 5 (step 46).

If the calculation conditions are different (step 47), press only the keys corresponding to the different conditions (step 48).
) to reset the calculation conditions and recalculate the fee.Step 49
) Then, the charge is displayed (step 50). If the handling fixed key 11 is not pressed (step 43), the calculation conditions are specified using the mail designation key 8, the special handling key 9, and the numeric keypad 10 (step 51), and the charge is calculated (step 52) to calculate the postage. Display (step 53).

The method of setting calculation conditions in the calculation condition storage section is as follows by pressing the fixed key 11 shown in the operation flowchart b in Fig. 4 (
After step 54), press the mail designation key 8 and special handling key 9 that correspond to the calculation conditions to be stored (step 5
